Excellent training!!! Horrible pay to start off, but you have the ability to make a lot, if you get a lot of clientele. - Anonymous employee H&R Block Employee Review

Pros

Unlike some of the other tax companies, they train you extensively your 1st year as a tax professional. The tax book that they provide you with is wonderful.

Cons

As much as they charge their customers, you would think that would make their base pay higher. If you work at another job full time, and this job part time, it's hard to meet your clientele quota.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
